Having been inspired by the outdoor gear of the archive, the Technical Jackets, adidas released a new rendition of NMD R1: the adidas NMD R1 Black Carbon Metallic in January 2021. The lifestyle adidas NMD R1 Black Carbon Metallic with a retro-futuristic vibe is dressed in a silver metallic, core black, and a carbon color scheme. Its materials imitate the technical jacket’s taping. The design further features an elastic knitted upper with reflective detailing on top of a black boost midsole and a rubber outsole. During its release on January 2021, the adidas NMD R1Black Carbon Metallic retailed at $140.
